Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda,
Crash) and Guy Pearce (Memento,
Lockout, L.A. Confidential)
star in Traitor, a taut international thriller set
against a jigsaw puzzle of covert counter-espionage
operations. Traitor is written and directed by
Jeffrey Nachmanoff (screenwriter of The Day After
Tomorrow).

When straight arrow FBI agent Roy Clayton (Guy
Pearce) heads up the investigation into a dangerous
international conspiracy, all clues seem to lead
back to former U.S. Special Operations officer,
Samir Horn (Don Cheadle). A mysterious figure with a
web of connections to terrorist organizations, Horn
has a knack for emerging on the scene just as a
major operation goes down.

The inter-agency task force looking into the case
meets with Carter (Jeff Daniels), a veteran CIA
contractor who seemingly has his own agenda and Max
Archer (Neal McDonough), a fellow FBI agent. The
task force links Horn to a prison break in Yemen, a
bombing in Nice and a raid in London, but a tangle
of contradictory evidence emerges, forcing Clayton
to question whether his quarry is a disaffected
former military operative-or something far more
complicated.

Obsessed with discovering the truth, Clayton
tracks Horn across the globe as the elusive
ex-soldier burrows deeper and deeper into a world of
shadows and intrigue.
